He knows how to do everything (or almost): Chatgpt agent arrives and he is stunning

The future belongs to agents who get up early. In any case, this is what seems to be the reasoning of Openai. The Chatgpt creator has just unveiled his brand new tool called Chatgpt Agent: an agent capable of carrying out actions independently, instead of the user.

If the description reminds you of Operator, this is normal. Agent is an evolution of this one, combined with Deep Research. The result is a much more efficient agent, capable of carrying out in -depth research. In addition, it has new tools that allow new actions.

Chatgpt Agent is capable of planning and reserving travel routes, organizing appointments and saving them on the calendar, editing spreadsheets or even converting screenshots into presentations.

An agent equipped with his own virtual computer

More concretely, by launching the agent mode, the chatbot opens a window containing a browser in the discussion wire, and can then navigate to the sites necessary to complete the requested task. But it is not only a browser. This window is a virtual computer, with a visual browser, a text -based browser, a terminal, as well as access to the API and the Connectors chatgpt for services like Gmail and Github. And the user can interact with this window, for example to interrupt an ongoing task. In addition, it is possible to identify in the virtual browser so that it can access your account on a site.

As a security measure, before any irreversible action (such as sending an email), an agent requests the user’s agreement.

Chatgpt Agent is based on a new even more efficient model

OPENAI did not name the model used by agent, but it seems particularly efficient. On the Humanity’s Last Exam test, he obtained 41.6 %, by far beating all the other chatbots, including the new Grok 4 which only obtained 25.4 %. However, it is quite slow. Openai is primarily interested in the resolution of difficult tasks, and the speed will come later. The tool is designed to perform tasks independently. So you just have to let it turn and come back later, and it will always be faster than doing it yourself.

Chatgpt Agent is now available for pro, more and team subscribers, outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland. OPENAI claims to work for availability in Europe, but gives no launch date. The most impatient will therefore have to go through a VPN.
